Cafe Di Lucca — Restaurant in England

Daylight Robbery!

Stopped by today for some lunch, ordered 2 Panini's, one Cheese and Ham, the other Cheese and Chorizo, also ordered a Yorkshire Tea and small glass of Coke, total Came to £16.05.

Now for 16 odd pound i'd expect something a little more substantial than was was actually served, a small Ciabatta Roll half toasted, a single wafer thin slice of Ham and a sprinkle of half melted cheese, sided with an absolute pitiful excuse for a salad, which consisted of a single slice of tomato, a very small amount of diced Lettuce (which had started going brown) and a small dollop of coleslaw.

The Cutlery was dirty, and so was my partners mug and teapot.

For the price, i did not expect such a low standard of food, nor the small portions.

Save yourself the money, and Just go the Subway literally 20 feet away from the cafe, a full footlong Sub with a drink for less than a Third of the Price what...

We visited yesterday and sadly were witness to two problematic incidents in a very short period of time. There were two women and a younger boy running the cafe. The woman serving was only wearing a visor with no mask, which is not covid secure but then two young adults arrived without masks, menus were given to them outside which was fine, but, (both of from the scientifically proven group with a high incidence of infection) unfortunately the mask less couple were then invited inside to place and wait for their order, although sensibly the young man declined. A family of four were also invited inside to keep warm, lovely kind act BUT......Staff training...

Nice enough for a coffee and an ice cream but the menu is very limited with no stand out items, and knaresborough has many places that have better food and have a bit more 'individuality'. If you just want a coffee and cake it does the job. I note the latest reviews all seem to agree. Perhaps the owners should take note and try and improve by understanding the high standards set around them and market requirements in a competitive area. It is not somewhere I would avoid, indeed I like to support local businesses but it doesn't draw me in, and my kids...
